I have recurring violent dreams about killing a screaming baby

I'm a peaceful person who gets on well with children. Well, I 'tolerate' them really and act out the role that I'm supposed to when one is inflicted on me. I 'ooh' and 'ahh' accordingly and then relish the peace and quiet when I can finally get away and be on my own or in a grown up environment.

Anyway, the point is that I am quite functional around them and able to interact with them but think I must have some underlying seething resentment of the expectation that I'm supposed to love every little annoying thing they do. I am 34 and don't want children. I'm also tired of people telling me that I'll change my mind. I think as an independent, educated women, I'm in a pretty good position to know my own mind about this.

Anyway, these dreams disturb me. I would never even think about harming a child. Funny how dark the subconscious can be.

I'm interested to know if anyone else experience dreams like this?

    This is disturbing to think about. I am sure it is just as bothersome dreaming about. I would think maybe you have feelings or anger you are suppressing. That are displaying themselves in extreme ways.

    We all have weird dreams at one time or another but one thing is certain, if you had kids you wouldnt think of them the same, they would be the joy of your life. You might resent kids and have those dreams because of all the pressure people put on you to have them, it doesnt make you a bad person, oprah doesnt even have kids

    Dreams are just dreams, as long as you don't enjoy the thoughts or dreams you are normal. Don't stress about it so much.

    This is normal, I absolutly HATE children, especially small babies, I often dream of punching them in the face and taping their mouth over to shut them up. People insist on bringing them on buses or trains and it drives me mad. The screaming little bastards. Obviously I would never do it but the urge is natural I think.

      That's just offensive. I don't believe you really think these thoughts. If you do, you need help.

    You were abused as a youngster in some way, probably physical. I would recommend you not to have children and seek help if you have dreams of killing them.
